Bus passengers warned ahead of huge Orange Walk this weekend

GLASGOW bus passengers have been warned that a busy service will face disruption due to a huge Orange Walk this weekend.

South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) said traffic on several roads in Hamilton will be disrupted amid the march.

The parade, organised by the County Grand Lodge of Central Scotland, will take place on Saturday, July 5.

It is expected to kick off at around 1pm and finish at 3pm. It will start at Meikle Earnock Park and end on Beckford Street.

Ahead of the event, Stagecoach revealed its X74 service from Dumfries to Glasgow via Hamilton will be disrupted.

The travel operator said the service will not serve Hamilton Bus Station between 12pm and 4pm on July 5.

However, it will stop at the bus stop on the A72 Palace Grounds Road (at the Vue Cinema) for journeys to Glasgow and Dumfries.

The council said it is expecting around 6500 people to take part in the Orange Walk.

A spokesperson for Stagecoach said: "Hamilton has town centre road closures on Saturday, July 5, 2025, between 12pm and 4pm for an event.

"Service X74 will not serve Hamilton Bus Station during the closure times. It will serve bus stop 61501432 on A72 Palace Grounds Road (at the Vue Cinema) for journeys to Glasgow and Dumfries.
